This scene in the movie shows how Riley's dreams were made. In the same way that a movie film is meticulously made, Riley's dreams were created in a studio consisting of film directors, recorders, and characters to pull off the intended story the production desires to display. The Dream Productions scene exaggerates the process of dream creation, emphasizing the unpredictability of dreams.
As sadness and joy continued to find Bing Bong, they got into the subconscious mind of Riley. Soon, they came across a monstrous forest of gigantic broccoli, a representation of Riley's strong dislike for the vegetable, revealed in early parts of the movie. Adding to the tension, as they chased Bingbong's tears of candy wrappers, a giant, terrifying clown emerged, evoking every childhood phobia of clowns.

Through the use of exaggerated images, scary clown and the trees-like broccoli are both portrayed in the scene as gigantic versions representing Riley's childhood fears. Riley sees things that she doesn't like as huge which makes them seem terrifying. These enormous size objects sitting in her subconscious mind symbolizes the depth of her horror and disgust. The scene makes good use of the idea that fear gained from one's experiences can leave lasting impressions that influence perceptions and be triggered by certain stimuli.
